Click [Close] and [OK] to complete the driver installation. 9. Shutdown and reboot the system. 10. Installing multiple PCI boards: Repeat the procedure above. B. Error messages The error messages are logged in the Entry Log. Each error message has a standard Ndis error code and an driver's additional code. The additional codes are: DC21X4_ERRMSG_INIT_INTERRUPT 0x01 DC21X4_ERRMSG_CREATE_FILTER 0x02 DC21X4_ERRMSG_ALLOC_MEMORY 0x03 DC21X4_ERRMSG_INITIAL_INIT 0x04 DC21X4_ERRMSG_ALLOC_OPEN 0x05 DC21X4_ERRMSG_NETWORK_ADDRESS 0x06 DC21X4_ERRMSG_SYSTEM_ERROR 0x07 DC21X4_ERRMSG_TXM_JABBER_TIMEOUT 0x08 DC21X4_ERRMSG_OPEN_DB 0x09 DC21X4_ERRMSG_DEVICE_ID 0x0A DC21X4_ERRMSG_INIT_DEVICE 0x0B DC21X4_ERRMSG_SROM 0X0C 1.

Driver revision number The driver revision number is stored into the protocol.ini file: [DEC$DCxxx] MajorDriverVersion MinorDriverVersionDownload Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
